Will this update still allow for ALL Wii games to be played, or will this be a "sorry, not on the list" thing like with Xbox 360?

It should allow for ALL Wii games, since they aren't going the stupid route and allowing people to use Wii U controllers. That requires emulation which makes 100% BC impossible.---Gaming is like a pair of boobs - Sony and Microsoft fight over whos boobs look more realistic, while Nintendo is about having fun with them - Walkiethrougie

>Fanboys making stupid excuses for this and being typical apologists

Theres only one reason this 'day one update' isnt already in the firmware; to force people to hook their Wii Us up online for those that might not have, so they can hope to try to hook them on mii verse, wii u e-shop, and any services that nintendos gonna be making a buck off.

Totally shameful. This corny update better be included in later revisions or productions of the console there won't be any excuses down the line like "Hurr then it wouldnt launch on time"

I had no plans to connect my Wii U online in a yearor two when I eventualy get one once the quality games library gets fleshed out. Nintendos online is damn near non existant and sucky anyway, and I wanted no part of that Miiverse garbage.

This is seriously just incredibly pointless and idiotic---"Dragon Age 2 was a train wreck the entire game, ME3 was like screaming rollercoaster that ran out of track and everyone died." -nIMr0D888

The only way to get semi decent cellphone plans in America is going prepaid.

I only figured this out after getting my first smartphone last February. I have Sprint, so it's cheaper than most contracts from other providers, but I'm definitely going to end up switching to something prepaid once my contract is up.---3DS FC: 3609-1047-7032PSN: Marlouchu

Seems pretty stupid, but I think it's an anti-piracy measure. If hackers find something in the initial software that allows for an exploit, it'll be hard to fix it for Nintendo. But if it's an update, then Nintendo can easily fix the exploits for a future update, not giving people the chance to use the exploit after that.---Read the mania: http://www.fanfiction.net/~nonexistingheroIn SA2, it's Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow.
